Wifi Direct

Hey folks,

I’ve been looking around for a WiFi Direct plugin to use in android devices, but with no such luck. Everywhere I’ve look people keep recommending to use modules for local area networks, but that doesn’t work for me since I’m trying to establish a connection between devices without the need for them to share the same network.

Anybody have suggestions on what to try? I was thinking of trying to make a plugin on my own that actually binds the WiFi direct methods, but I can’t really make heads nor tails of how to even setup Android studio right to work with Corona.

Hi,

What is your use case? It seems you just need a real-time network connection using something like Coronium ChatterBox.

I’m trying to establish communication between phones just via proximity. Bluetooth is one option but it’s beyond slow when it comes to communicating, not to mention the range is very lacking.

Wifi Direct on the other hand works just like you’d expect, having great speed and range at the same time, allowing phones to communicate to each other by just being within range of each other.
